So who is the best alternative to SO for at least 1 GB data plan? | Page 2 | Other carriers | Consumer forum

I bought my Google Nexus a couple of years back from Wind. I switched to SO b/c of UMB and the expiry date of deposits, which for Wind was way crappier than a full year. UMB was a great deal, even after speed declined considerably. However, w/o UMB, and the meager 100 MB you get for $10, SO has rendered itself slightly irrelevant and less than competitive. I'll try Wind Tablet for $10 / 1GB side by side with SO 100 MB and, if Wind is the way it was when I left them, I'll let my SO card expire.

The problem with Wind is the expiry date on deposits (which can't be $10) and less coverage - and an aggressive community constantly engaging in d*** wars on GetSupport, last I checked. However, they have coverage where I need it and if all I need is their data, the expiry date is not a problem.

In my testing this far, VoIP works well on both SO and Wind to the point where it's indistinguishable. I am using a paid provider that gave me a free trial (Fongo has poorer quality most of the time and I find it to be unreliable). I pay less than $20 / month for VoIP, but that includes an iNum, a toll-free number for my business, a few local numbers in Canada, one in US and one in an European country.
